A seepage-geomechanical coupled embedded fracture flow model has been established for multi-field coupled simulation in tight oil reservoirs, revealing the patterns of change in the pressure field, seepage field, and stress field following long-term water injection in tight oil reservoirs. Based on this, a technique for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) combining multi-field reconstruction and combined displacement-permeation in tight oil reservoirs has been proposed. The study shows that after long-term water flooding for tight oil development, the pressure diffusion range is limited, making it difficult to establish an effective displacement system. The variation in geostress exhibits diversity, with the change in horizontal minimum principal stress being greater than that in horizontal maximum principal stress, and the variation around the injection wells being more significant than that around production wells. The deflection of geostress direction around injection wells is also large. The technology for EOR through multi-field reconstruction and combined displacement-permeation employs water injection wells converted to production and large-scale fracturing techniques to restructure the artificial fracture network system. Through a full lifecycle energy replenishment method of pre-fracturing energy supplementation, energy increase during fracturing, well soaking for energy storage, and combined displacement-permeation, it effectively addresses the issue of easy channeling of the injection medium and difficult energy replenishment after large-scale fracturing. By intensifying the imbibition effect through the coordination of multiple wells, it reconstructs the combined system of displacement and imbibition under a complex fracture network, transitioning from avoiding fractures to utilizing them, thereby improving microscopic sweep and oil displacement efficiencies. Field application in Block Yuan 284 of the Huaqing Oilfield in the Ordos Basin has demonstrated that this technology increases the recovery factor by 12 percentage points, enabling large scale and efficient development of tight oil.
